The Possession

Chapter 8

As I opened my eyes the sun was already peeking the window, agad akong sumulyap sa lalaking katabi ko, his arms possessively wrapped around my waist.

I need to escape here.

Dahan-dahan kong tinanggal ang braso nito, pilit kong iniwasan na hindi gumawa ng inggay kahit ang sakit ng tama ko. Nang magawa iyon, I immediately find my clothes but I didn't see it, pinulot ko na lamang ang malaking t-shirt nito at isinuot iyon. Halos manlamig ako ng mag salita ang lalaking akala ko ay tulog.

"Where the fuck are you going." He wasn't asking at all. He demand answer like the usual time he uses to dominate me. Dahan-dahan kong tinignan ang lalaki, I bit my lower lip hard as our eyes clashed.

Yes I'm thankful he saved me back there, but staying here would be too much for me to handle. He's the enemy after all, I work for the people and law, he's not. To avoid to make more mistake is to stay away from him as soon as possible.

"I'm going home." Dumilim ang ekspresyon nito, natakot ako ng kunti dahil doon. He is really scary.

"You. Are. Home." Madiing wika nito, agad akong umiling at pinulot ang phone ko at baril at mabilis na tumakbo. "Fuck! Woman come back here!"

Hindi pa ako makatakbo ng maayos dahil sa may tama ako sa binti, I endure it and got out of the house, Steve is tailing me. Tinakbo ko hanggang nakakita ako ng taxi at pinatay iyon, narinig ko ang putok ng baril.

"Shit!" Mura ko ng tumama ang bala sa likod ng salamin ng taxi, nataranta naman ang driver at minaneho't pinaandar iyon. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag ng makalayo ako.

Sa pagtataka ko ay bakit may taxi sa maliit na lugar na 'to? Fear immediately envelope my body, silently I pointed my gun to the driver, the driver laugh devilishly.

"Sino ka?!" I demanded, he just clicked his tongue for multiple times and with the dim lights he remove the cap on head.

"Hey Asher..." parang nanlalamig ang katawan ko sa malamig na paraan na pagtawag nito sa pangalan ko. It was Angelo's face who boomed in my eyes.

No! He can't betray me! He will never be!

"Why are you here? I'm not thinking right... I'm not going to accuse you, now tell me why are here?" I said as calm as I can.

I don't want to be betrayed by him, really. I'm scared. He's the only family I've ever considered, my parents died early for me to crawl back from reality, I did save my self but I think I'll be wreck if he betray me.

I'm overthinking this.

He smiled devilishly, my heart boomed in ache. He can't be the one, he can't be the one who's trying to kill me this the fucking whole time. Everytime I do my mission, I'll be recognized, nor be failed.

"Angelo... anong meron? Ba't andito ka? Ba't parang... No, mali ang iniisip ko diba? You c-can't do this." I've known him since like forever, Simula ng pumasok ako sa training, nandoon na siya, ni pag apply ng parehong station ay mga idea namin.

The van accident? The drugs?

May drugs ba sa van ng gabing iyon? Nahuli niya yung driver... Yung driver ba talaga iyon?

Angelo Florenza

"I'm to say goodbye Ash, nice working with you. Pasensyahan na tayo, trabaho lang." He said and pointed a gun, agad akong umilag, he was aiming to my chest part, dahil sa pag iwas ko ay natamaan ako sa balikat. I hissed loudly as I held the door handle, it was locked.

I felt betrayed. I don't want to pull the trigger, he's one of my favorite person.

I can't believe he can do this to me...
